How the Experts Remove Underground Gas Station Tanks
If you have never had a professional gas station tank demolition in Virginia, the process may be a complete mystery. Here is a look at what will happen when you contact us for underground gas tank removal.

Testing
After the underground gas tank has been cleaned, we will then check for any signs of contamination in the surrounding area.
Ensuring Safe Underground Tank Removal and Gas Station Tank Demolition in Virginia
There are a lot of potential dangers to the environment associated with the removal of underground gas tanks. For this reason, most states have laws requiring you to remove any abandoned gas tanks on your property. Unused gas tanks can develop leaks, which pours the gas right into the soil and groundwater in the area, contaminating it beyond human or animal use. Because this is such a potentially dangerous situation, you should always have a licensed professional in charge of your gas station tank removal in Virginia.
We will start by gathering samples of the soil and groundwater surrounding your abandoned underground gas tank. We will then test them for any contamination before we proceed with your tank removal.
The EPA has established a list of strict requirements to follow to make underground gas tank removal safe. This is why it is crucial that you hire a licensed professional for your UST removal. We offer licensed professionals that have completed the required training to be able to provide safe gas tank removal and disposal services.
If you think you can save some money by hiring a handyman to take care of gas station tank demolition in Virginia, think again. With an amateur in charge, any contamination from an abandoned gas tank could be spread to a wider area. This will create a bigger environmental hazard that will cost a lot more money to clean up. For the sake of your budget and your property, trust the professionals.
